HC Deb 08 December 1998 vol 322 c158W
16. Mr. Savidge

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the status which the Office for National Statistics kitemark carries on official documents published by the Scottish Office. [61279]

Mr. Dewar

ONS does not operate a kitemarking scheme. Some Scottish Office publications bear the logo of the Government Statistical Service (GSS). The logo is not used for publications which are not prepared on behalf of the GSS, or where the content of a publication is set out in statute.

The Scottish Office is committed to adhering to the Official Statistics Code of Practice in all statistical work, whether or not carried out on behalf of GSS.
